if anyone thinks Ville Valo is going to let something be released that HE does not approve of...I guess you have no respect or understanding for him. He is involved with every aspect of his music. His recent interview said, "I write the lyrics, the riffs, the melodies...Yeah, it's a band....it's a band playing MY music." Ville has total control, from the artwork to the t-shirts. Ville is HIM...don't kid yourselves.
Alright woahhh.. Matt Squire is the fucking man! I think he's a great producer and all of his work can attest to that. These are HIM songs.. Big, huge, powerful, Catchy.. love metal whatever the fuck you want to call it. The whole point of production is to get the best performances out of people and I think Squire nailed it. Just listen to Ville go fucking balls out on Venere Veritas or the ending of Disarm Me. The album sounds good, real good and the production is a bonus not a detriment
@whaleandwasp ville's really at his best in this album he has never been sooo energetic and his has never been so powerful before in any other album yeah maybe the album is a little poppy but its a good sound :)
why is there so many bad comments? the album is brilliant.!! if HIM did another razorblade you'd all be complaining that all the albums are the same! and besides he sings from experiences, life changes and so do people! so shut up listen 2 it again, i bet you will enjoy it! :)
another HIM tour in Ireland would be great! love 2 here the new album live!
It's a good album but he has definetly changed their sound, hopefully the next album will be a bit more "like HIM". However, Ville's vocals and lyrics are still very impressive and I'm loving all the extra keyboard in the songs!
@MonicaBailey Not every mexican is like that "XZG" asshole, look at his videos, he's a stupid kid who doesn't know about life or music... don't generalize, but it's a shame HIM doesn't come to mexico, but hopefully ill see them in toronto or the US!
Dear Mr. Squire, If I Wanted The Used, I WOULD LISTEN TO THE FUCKING USED. Thank you sooo much For Taking an amazingly PERFECT BAND AND SHITTING ALL OVER IT.
This! Matt Squire is shit, when i hear him talking about changing their sound, making suggestions to the band, it's sickening. He has no business telling the band what they should do, this is why producers suck. The best HIM albums are the ones where they do whatever they like , example would be their first album.
you are wrong if you think producers suck, i'd like to see half of the sorry ass bands around go into a studio with no producer and even turn the fucking gear on, i think record labels are a little more in tune to the industry than you and they direct bands to producers, and btw HIMs first album was produced by a finnish legend called Hiili Hiilesmaa so your statement contradicts itself also.
Some producers let the band play their own music the way they like but just organise the recording shedules and such. Other producers like this scumbag spend their time working for the lable and getting the band to alter their sound.
If you want to know a guy whos a producer and is ethical look up Steve Albini. It's clear you don't know what the fuck you're talking about so you've probably never heard of him.
Matt Squire is known for producing power pop. HIM is NOT power pop! I was disappointed when I heard "Heartkiller" and HOPE beyond all hope that the rest of the album does not sound like that and that HIM has been able to retain their rawness on at least some of the other songs! I love HIM for their rawness, not for an american produced sound that their US record company think HIM fans want to hear. But that is just my opinion...
my names matt squire too!

I've heard some other songs on the album.
ex. Like St. Valentine
it was amazing! its got that dark edge we love.
it is different and every once in a while a band needs to re-invent themselves.
HIM is still true to themselves, but I think they are trying to gain some more mainstream fans.
You shouldn't worry! I don't think Ville would allow his band to be a reproduction.
Love Long HIM <3
